Summary: Honestly, when it happened, he hadn’t been scared. He did not get scared, nor had he been surprised. He had merely been… taken off guard. And who could blame him, really? No one expected a giant hairless rat to suddenly attack them.
Author Notes: This is my first time doing a remix, so I'll admit I had a hard time choosing a fic and deciding what to do with it. I hope you like this interpretation of your work, Aeris444!

Author Notes:
I hope you enjoy your first remix, aharesbreath!

When I first saw this summary-less piece over on AO3, I thought it would be a great chance to draw BAMF!Merlin riding a pimped out, BAMF, druidic war reindeer or something. But then I remembered seeing the piece during the Art-Fest Advent Calendar, and there it had a summary in which Arthur was gazing out of the window, restless, waiting for Merlin to return home. I thought, hmm, was Merlin expected back sooner? What could be holding him up? Is Arthur worried? And so this piece happened, with Merlin solo-questing and getting in over his head.

I also picked this one because you seemed to lament running out of time and how the northern lights turned out in the original. It’s a fantastic concept!

Big thanks to my trusty betas altocello and alby_mangroves!! Fun fact: the PSD file for this ended up 166MB, LOL!
